Get Compensation for Your Injury or Illness on an MSC Cruise by Calling MSC Cruise Injury Lawyer Andrew Winston

Did you know that MSC Cruises is the third largest cruise line in the world behind Carnival and Royal Caribbean? Well, at least that is what the company claims. However, MSC is not a publicly traded company, and thus, any data that they release to the public, including accident and illness statistics, cannot really be verified.

Most Americans probably have not even considered taking an MSC cruise because the company has only recently started to move into our marketplace. If you have taken an MSC cruise and suffered an accident or illness due to their negligence, contact the Mannello Law Group. Following a cruise ship injury or disease that you believe was caused by the crew’s negligence, the worst thing you can do is to wait and deliberate immediately. You only have a short window to file a claim to receive compensation.

Where Will MSC Take You?

Even though MSC is relatively new to the American market, this is not a particularly young company. They have been around since 1987 and offer cruises around the world. However, the potential danger of traveling to so many foreign ports is that it can make it harder for crew members to account for changing bacterial and viral threats and maintain proper sanitation. the Mannello Law Group knows what evidence to look for to prove that an outbreak was caused by negligence.

Where can you expect to go if you book with MSC Cruises?

• The Mediterranean
• Northern Europe
• The Canary Islands
• The Caribbean
• South America
• South Africa
• The United Arab Emirates

Additionally, they offer Grand Voyages that largely seem to travel to the same locations but at a more leisurely pace. This gives you time to immerse yourself in various cultures, learn from onboard experts in history, culture, and language, and really get to know your fellow passengers.

What’s the Fleet Like?

The MSC fleet includes 12 ships, each purporting to offer passengers peace, comfort, fun, and safety.

MSC Preziosa. The fleet’s flagship features a real stone piazza, a Broadway-scale theater, private sunbathing, a kids’ aqua park, and a late-night panoramic disco.

MSC Divina. This ship travels around the Caribbean all year and boasts a unique suite designed by Sophia Loren, 150 fountains, a Garden Infinity pool, and more.

MSC Magnifica. Saunas. Turkish baths. Thalassotherapy. A solarium. Three swimming pools. Tennis, basketball, and jogging. A 1200-seat theater. Unfortunately, it reportedly struck a pier at the Port of Piraeus in Greece, and investigators are still investigating the incident to uncover what caused it.

MSC Splendida. If you’re looking for luxury – and can afford it – the Splendida offers Yacht Club passengers a VIP area with unique suites, an exclusive dining venue and lounge, and 24-hour butler service. Regular guests can still access the typical spas, fitness centers, pools, etc. It was also in the news a few years ago because an elderly passenger died when she was attempting to board, and the gangplank crashed into the water.

MSC Fantasia. The Fantasia offers many of the same amenities as other ships from MSC but is listed as the company’s flagship. It does have a transparent ceiling to accommodate stargazing, which seems relatively unique.

MSC Poesia. Touted as a ship designed to meet “demanding ecological standards,” the Poesia certainly has some interesting features, like a waterfall with bridges and a Zen garden. It’s unclear how a sushi bar or spa qualifies as environmentally friendly, but kids will probably enjoy the dinosaur-themed play area and open-air cinema. Sadly, the Poesia has reportedly had its share of troubles, too, including running aground a few years ago because the crew did not realize the giant ship needed 25 feet of draft instead of just 15.

MSC Orchestra. Boasting 18 decks, a disco, an internet café, and lots of food choices, including what’s the only Chinese restaurant at sea, there’s plenty to do on the Orchestra.

MSC Musica. The Musica has most of the same amenities on MSC’s other ships, but also includes a stunning central foyer with a three-tier waterfall and a piano suspended over a crystal floor above a pool of water. Their site says, “You will feel the music in the air.”

MSC Opera. Italian lessons, mini-golf, and the Teatro dell’Opera are just three excellent amenities you’ll experience on your Opera cruise.

MSC Lirica. Because the Lirica is smaller, MSC says it’s ideal for first-time cruisegoers and families – especially if you like a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

MSC Sinfonia. Enjoy a jogging track, Golf Simulator, and an incredible array of casinos, discos, music, shows, and more as you visit locales like South Africa and the Eastern and Western Mediterranean.

MSC Armonia. This vessel has been completely restored and has the same amenities as the rest of MSC’s fleet.
